It seems like more than normal, lately, but that may just be due to this thread giving a place to deposit a whole list.

Or maybe this is what happens when you're around the same people for such a long time, and since we have a pretty open and revealing atmosphere here it only seems natural to further the chemistry.

I mean really. I've had a few pseudo relationships online from the forum (the names I'd rather not mention anyway, and I'm done with the whole online dating thing anyway), I don't even know how it happens to me sometimes, but it's definitely the very personal atmosphere. You don't get this kind of stuff IRL, and for those of us who really, really desire deep personal connections this is a utopia. And why not take it to another level with a relationship?

MH and I hardly took any notice of each other on the forum until we happened to discover that we lived in the same town. So we decided to meet for coffee sometime to see who that only other forum member within hundreds of miles, one of only a handful in this country, was - out of shere curiosity, nothing else, no romantic interest.

We met for coffee in the afternoon and soon noticed that we were on a very similar wavelength, we talked, we talked for hours and ended up having dinner together as well. So we decided to repeat this soon. We did. And again and again. And a few weeks later we were a couple.

So you can say that the forum introduced us, but we got to know each other offline and see each other almost every day now.

I don’t see it as you stepping away from the fire. I see it as the fire directing your course.
No matter how airy or earthy or watery you become... to many of us you will always be...a super nova."
